''Red Sox Rule'' is a book written by Michael Holley that documents the 2007 Boston Red Sox season, a year in which they won the American League pennant and went on to win the World Series. ==Book Summary== Although ''Red Sox Rule'' is a book that appears to be about the team, it is actually more focused on the team’s manager, Terry Francona, rather than the team itself. Harper Collins, the book’s publisher describes the book as an “… inside look at how it all happened …. () reveals the private sessions and the dugout and front-office strategies that have made the Boston Red Sox a budding dynasty.” 〔”Red Sox Rule – About the Book” ''HarperCollins Publishers''. Retrieved April 22, 2013 ()〕 Francona’s selection as the team’s manager followed the firing of his predecessor, Grady Little whose decisions during the 2003 American League championship series were widely criticized by the media, the public, and the teams ownership.〔 In his first year as the manager, Francona took the RedSox to the World Series where the team defeated the St. Louis Cardinals and won its first championship title in 86 years. Subsequently, the team was generally successfully during the 2005 and 2006 seasons, but it was not until the 2007 season that the team attained the same level of success as it did in 2004, and once again won the World Series. The book discusses Francona’s childhood and his relationship with his father, Tito Francona, who was also a major league baseball player. Several chapters are then devoted to Francona’s early baseball years from high school in New Brighton, Pennsylvania to the University of Arizona, to his 10 year career as a major league player. Following his professional playing career, Francona went on to manage in the minor leagues where he gained national attention as the manager of the Birmingham Barons whose roster included NBA Hall of Fame player Michael Jordan. Francona’s efforts in managing Jordan as well as managing the unprecedented level of media coverage won him admirers in both the baseball community and the press.〔
